Masculinity Two Lyrics

While I am at it, here are the lyrics to Masculinity Two. I've realised that most of my art is about the battle between logical, emotionless, rational thought, and emotions; and this song is too. It's about a computer nerd, an emotionless, logical thinker, being unmoved by female advances. It is a critique that he can't be a rugged, animalistic male, yet as a result is unresponsive to affection.

Masculinity Two

You can blink at me slowly,
you can flicker your lips,
but it won't get to my,
metal heart.

You can signal me baby,
send me sex in your sips,
but it's ice in the soul,
of the dark.

Welcome to the new paradise,
what do you want to do?
Want to come and a play game with me tonight?

Masculinity two.

Welcome to the new paradise,
What do you want to do?
Want to come and a play game with me tonight?

Masculinity two.

This is what you all wanted.
This electro control.
This is love into fire,
into death.

So keep signalling baby,
I'll keep looking away,
as I drink as I die,
as I play.
